G 2. Problem: Let $\triangle A B C$ be a right-angled triangle with $\angle B A C=90^{\circ}$, and let $E$ be the foot of the perpendicular from $A$ on $B C$. Let $Z \neq A$ be a point on the line $A B$ with $A B=B Z$. Let (c), $\left(c_{1}\right)$ be the circmucircles of the triangles $\triangle A E Z$ and $\triangle...
Solution. Since the triangles $\triangle A E B$ and $\triangle C A B$ are similar, then $$ \frac{A B}{E B}=\frac{C B}{A B} $$ Since $A B=B Z$ we get $$ \frac{B Z}{E B}=\frac{C B}{B Z} $$ from which it follows that the triangles $\triangle Z B E$ and $\triangle C B Z$ are also similar. Since $F E B Z$ is cyclic, !...

Solution. We will first show that $P A$ is tangent to $(c)$ at $A$. Since $E, D, Z, A$ are concyclic, then $\angle E D C=\angle E A Z=\angle E A B$. Since also the triangles $\triangle A B C$ and $\triangle E B A$ are similar, then $\angle E A B=\angle B C A$, therefore $\angle E D C=\angle B C A$. Since $\angle F E...

The numbers from $A$ in the interval $[1, k]$ will be called small; those in $[k+1,2 k]$ - medium and those in $[2 k+1,3 k]$ - large. Is it always tr...
Solution. A counterexample for a) is $k=3, A=\{1,2,9\}, x=2$ and $d=8$. A counterexample for c) is $k=3, A=\{1,8,9\}, x=8$ and $d=1$. We will prove that b) is true. Suppose the contrary and let $x, d$ have the above properties. We can assume $03 k$, then since the remainder for $x+d$ is medium we have $4 k2 k$. Ther...

A 1. Let $x, y$ and $z$ be positive numbers. Prove that $$ \frac{x}{\sqrt{\sqrt[4]{y}+\sqrt[4]{z}}}+\frac{y}{\sqrt{\sqrt[4]{z}+\sqrt[4]{x}}}+\frac{z}{\sqrt{\sqrt[4]{x}+\sqrt[4]{y}}} \geq \frac{\sqrt[4]{(\sqrt{x}+\sqrt{y}+\sqrt{z})^{7}}}{\sqrt{2 \sqrt{27}}} $$
Solution. Replacing $x=a^{2}, y=b^{2}, z=c^{2}$, where $a, b, c$ are positive numbers, our inequality is equivalent to $$ \frac{a^{2}}{\sqrt{\sqrt{b}+\sqrt{c}}}+\frac{b^{2}}{\sqrt{\sqrt{c}+\sqrt{a}}}+\frac{c^{2}}{\sqrt{\sqrt{a}+\sqrt{b}}} \geq \frac{\sqrt[4]{(a+b+c)^{7}}}{\sqrt{2 \sqrt{27}}} $$ Using the Cauchy-Schw...

Solution. The required inequality is equivalent to $$ \frac{c(a+1)+a(b+1)+b(c+1)}{a b c(a+1)(b+1)(c+1)} \geq \frac{3}{(1+a b c)^{2}} $$ or equivalently to, $$ (1+a b c)^{2}(a b+b c+c a+a+b+c) \geq 3 a b c(a b+b c+c a+a+b+c+a b c+1) $$ Let $m=a+b+c, n=a b+b c+c a$ and $x^{3}=a b c$, then the above can be rewritten ...

Solution. We use standard notation for the angles of triangle $A B C$. Let $P$ be the midpoint of $C H$ and $O$ the centre of $\Gamma$. As $$ \alpha=\angle B A C=\angle B D C=\angle D K L $$ the quadrilateral $A C K L$ is cyclic. From the relation $C B=C D$ we get $\angle B C D=180^{\circ}-2 \alpha$, so $$ \angle A...

A9 Let $x_{1}, x_{2}, \ldots, x_{n}$ be real numbers satisfying $\sum_{k=1}^{n-1} \min \left(x_{k} ; x_{k+1}\right)=\min \left(x_{1}, x_{n}\right)$. Prove that $\sum_{k=2}^{n-1} x_{k} \geq 0$.
## Solution 1 Case I. If $\min \left(x_{1}, x_{n}\right)=x_{1}$, we know that $x_{k} \geq \min \left(x_{k} ; x_{k+1}\right)$ for all $k \in\{1,2,3, \ldots, n-1\}$. So $x_{1}+x_{2}+\ldots+x_{n-1} \geq \sum_{k=1}^{n-1} \min \left(x_{k} ; x_{k+1}\right)=\min \left(x_{1}, x_{n}\right)=x_{1}$, hence $\sum_{k=2}^{n-1} x_{k}...

## Solution The idea is to split the inequality in two, showing that $$ \left(\sqrt{\frac{x}{y}}+\sqrt{\frac{y}{z}}+\sqrt{\frac{z}{x}}\right)^{2} $$ can be intercalated between the left-hand side and the right-hand side.

Solution a) Position 20 white markers on the board such that the left-most column is empty.

## Solution Let us assume that all sums give different remainder modulo $2 n$, and let $S$ denote the value of their sum. For our assumption, $$ S \equiv 0+1+\ldots+2 n-1=\frac{(2 n-1) 2 n}{2}=(2 n-1) n \equiv n \quad(\bmod 2 n) $$ But, if we sum, breaking all sums into its components, we derive $$ S \equiv 2(1+\l...

91.4. Let $f(x)$ be a polynomial with integer coefficients. We assume that there exists a positive integer $k$ and $k$ consecutive integers $n, n+1, \ldots, n+k-1$ so that none of the numbers $f(n), f(n+1), \ldots, f(n+k-1)$ is divisible by $k$. Show that the zeroes of $f(x)$ are not integers.
Solution. Let $f(x)=a_{0} x^{d}+a_{1} x^{d-1}+\cdots+a_{d}$. Assume that $f$ has a zero $m$ which is an integer. Then $f(x)=(x-m) g(x)$, where $g$ is a polynomial. If $g(x)=b_{0} x^{d-1}+b_{1} x^{d-2}+$ $\cdots+b_{d-1}$, then $a_{0}=b_{0}$, and $a_{k}=b_{k}-m b_{k-1}, 1 \leq k \leq d-1$. So $b_{0}$ is an integer, and ...

Solution. (See Figure 6.) The fold gives rise to an isosceles trapezium $A D H G$. Because of symmetry, the distance of the vertex $D$ from the side $G H$ equals the distance of the vertex $H$ from side $A D$; the latter distance is the side length $a$ of the square.

11.2. In a triangle $A B C$ assume $A B=A C$, and let $D$ and $E$ be points on the extension of segment $B A$ beyond $A$ and on the segment $B C$, respectively, such that the lines $C D$ and $A E$ are parallel. Prove that $C D \geq \frac{4 h}{B C} C E$, where $h$ is the height from $A$ in triangle ABC. When does equal...
Solution. Because $A E \| D C$, the triangles $A B E$ and $D B C$ are similar. So $$ C D=\frac{B C}{B E} \cdot A E $$ $\mathrm{ja}$ $$ C D=\frac{A E \cdot B C}{B E \cdot C E} \cdot C E $$ ![](https://cdn.mathpix.com/cropped/2024_06_06_f01d327b68eb688a4496g-67.jpg?height=340&width=508&top_left_y=732&top_left_x=1248...

## Problem 4 Let $A B C$ be an acute-angled triangle with circumscribed circle $k$ and centre of the circumscribed circle $O$. A line through $O$ intersects the sides $A B$ and $A C$ at $D$ and $E$. Denote by $B^{\prime}$ and $C^{\prime}$ the reflections of $B$ and $C$ over $O$, respectively. Prove that the circumscri...
Solution. Let $P$ be the intersection of the circles $k$ and the circumscribed circle of triangle $A D E^{1}$. Let $C_{1}$ be the second intersection of the circumscribed circle of $\triangle D O P$ with $k$. We will prove that $C_{1}=C^{\prime}$, i.e. the reflection of $C$ over $O$. We know that $\left|O C_{1}\right|...

Problem 1 Let $n$ be a positive integer. Show that there exist positive integers $a$ and $b$ such that: $$ \frac{a^{2}+a+1}{b^{2}+b+1}=n^{2}+n+1 $$
Solution 1 Let $P(x)=x^{2}+x+1$. We have $P(n) P(n+1)=\left(n^{2}+n+1\right)\left(n^{2}+3 n+3\right)=$ $n^{4}+4 n^{3}+7 n^{2}+6 n+3$. Also, $P\left((n+1)^{2}\right)=n^{4}+4 n^{3}+7 n^{2}+6 n+3$. By choosing $a=(n+1)^{2}$ and $b=n+1$ we get $P(a) / P(b)=P(n)$ as desired.

Problem 2 Let $a, b, \alpha, \beta$ be real numbers such that $0 \leq a, b \leq 1$, and $0 \leq \alpha, \beta \leq \frac{\pi}{2}$. Show that if $$ a b \cos (\alpha-\beta) \leq \sqrt{\left(1-a^{2}\right)\left(1-b^{2}\right)} $$ then $$ a \cos \alpha+b \sin \beta \leq 1+a b \sin (\beta-\alpha) $$
Solution 2 The condition can be rewritten as $$ a b \cos (\alpha-\beta)=a b \cos \alpha \cos \beta+a b \sin \alpha \sin \beta \leq \sqrt{\left(1-a^{2}\right)\left(1-b^{2}\right)} $$ Set $x=a \cos \alpha, y=b \sin \beta, z=b \cos \beta, t=a \sin \alpha$. We can now rewrite the condition as $$ x z+y t \leq \sqrt{\lef...

Problem 3 Let $M$ and $N$ be the midpoints of the sides $A C$ and $A B$, respectively, of an acute triangle $A B C, A B \neq A C$. Let $\omega_{B}$ be the circle centered at $M$ passing through $B$, and let $\omega_{C}$ be the circle centered at $N$ passing through $C$. Let the point $D$ be such that $A B C D$ is an i...
Solution 3 Let $E$ be such that $A B E C$ is a parallelogram with $A B \| C E$ and $A C \| B E$, and let $\omega$ be the circumscribed circle of $\triangle A B C$ with centre $O$. It is known that the radical axis of two circles is perpendicular to the line connecting the two centres. Since $B E \perp M O$ and $C E \...

Problem 2. Given a triangle $A B C$, let $P$ lie on the circumcircle of the triangle and be the midpoint of the arc $B C$ which does not contain $A$. Draw a straight line $l$ through $P$ so that $l$ is parallel to $A B$. Denote by $k$ the circle which passes through $B$, and is tangent to $l$ at the point $P$. Let $Q$...
Solution I. There are three possibilities: $Q$ between $A$ and $B, Q=B$, and $B$ between $A$ and $Q$. If $Q=B$ we have that $\angle A B P$ is right, and $A P$ is a diameter of the circumcircle. The triangles $A B P$ and $A C P$ are then congruent (they have $A P$ in common, $P B=P C$, and both have a right angle oppos...

## Problem 1. Let $A B C$ be a triangle and $\Gamma$ the circle with diameter $A B$. The bisectors of $\angle B A C$ and $\angle A B C$ intersect $\Gamma$ (also) at $D$ and $E$, respectively. The incircle of $A B C$ meets $B C$ and $A C$ at $F$ and $G$, respectively. Prove that $D, E, F$ and $G$ are collinear.
Solution 1. Let the line $E D$ meet $A C$ at $G^{\prime}$ and $B C$ at $F^{\prime} . A D$ and $B E$ intersect at $I$, the incenter of $A B C$. As angles subtending the same arc $\widehat{B D}$, $\angle D A B=\angle D E B=\angle G^{\prime} E I$. But $\angle D A B=\angle C A D=$ $\angle G^{\prime} A I$. This means that ...
